Oh, I decided ages ago that acting couldn't be my primary outlet in theatre, my audition nerves are way too awful to rely on! Costume department and dramaturgy are my reliable strengths and what I hope to earn a paycheck for someday, I just also hope to pick up the occasional onstage role every now and then... The ticking clock is less an accurate reflection of the situation and more of a holdover from from when I actually *did* think I was going to be primarily an actor... I spent long enough thinking of age range as a very salient factor in finding a role, it's hard not to project it onto the rest of the industry.
I do hope to involved in community theatre once my car is up and running (tomorrow! My fiancee has a light day scheduled at work, so he's bringing my car in to work on in the afternoon!), although the more I think about it, the more going to graduate school sounds like the right path. Even when I first graduated and was very sick of homework, I knew there was a LOT more I needed to learn yet, and it would put me back into the theatre world under more controlled circumstances that could maybe reduce stress a bit...
Thank you very much! Talking stuff out (both relationship-wise and life-wise) with various friends, strictly online or otherwise, has helped a lot!
